51 Sussex Street, Brighton, VIC 3186

Supremely positioned just metres from Brighton Beach and Church Street Village, this architecturally renovated circa 1920s California Bungalow surrounded by glorious gardens with north/west aspect on 965 square metres (approx.), exemplifies grand scale Brighton family living. Sometimes homes of this calibre can feel like a display home, but this one is special, from the moment you arrive, you know this home has been truly enjoyed and loved by all, and that it will be emotional when handing over custodianship to a new family at the end of 24 wonderful years.

Retaining all its period charm and character, the original single level weatherboard home was completely renovated, rejuvenated, and extended by Master Design Builders around two decades ago. The ?Abobe? magazine feature worthy result is a generously proportioned two storey six bedroom family sanctuary centred around a light filled open plan living and culinary zone. This area flows to the home?s wrap around verandah and undercover alfresco area with built in barbecue kitchen and overlooks the lagoon shaped solar heated salt chlorinated swimming pool, edged in bluestone pavers and tropical inspired gardens.

Designed for effortless entertaining, the recently updated gourmet kitchen is defined by a custom made stone central island and features a new 900 mm Smeg freestanding cooker, Miele dishwasher, a Zip tap and a scullery with stainless steel benchtops, that extends to the laundry/mud room. Zoned on the ground level, the main bedroom has a fitted walk through built in robe and luxe ensuite with lush garden outlooks, a freestanding tub, and a walk in fully tiled shower. The ground floor layout also includes a second bedroom/study, a marble bathroom with shower and the formal living and dining rooms, rich in period features including bay windows and marble mantles. Upstairs are another four bedrooms, all with built in robes and balcony access, along with the third bathroom also with a freestanding tub.

Additional features include keyless entry, automatic gates, central heating and cooling, a comprehensive CCTV security system, three phase power, and an oversized garage with workshop space, and the property offers secure off street parking for up to six vehicles.

This aspirational dream home ticks all the boxes while superbly positioned in the heart of Brighton?s most prized lifestyle precinct, in a tranquil, leafy street just metres from the Bay, the Royal Brighton Yacht club, Brighton Baths, Church Street shops and cafes, Middle Brighton station, and a host of excellent schools including Brighton Grammar, just around the corner.
